Blacksheak, Ga., ilar. 21.—The great tragedy on the Savannah, Fior ida and Western raiiroad, last Sat urday, in which a passenger train fell through a thirty seveu feet tres tie over the Hurricane river, near here, still engrosses geuerai atten tiou. Details are difficult to ob tain and accounts conflicting. It is a singular coincidence that President Wilbur's car, which was damaged to the amount of about $6,000 iu this wreck, wits derailed nuar this pluce vie year ago with almost the party on board, and it is ms-/ a striking fact that not one passenger has ever been killed on the S., F. k W. hitherto since the building of the road, i he trestle has bttn replaced and regular schedules lesuruod. The exact cause of the accident will ever be known. A tborongl inspection of the trucks under each car reveals no defects, and not oue of them was not good for use after the accident. There are twenty nine injured per sons at Waycross, some only slight ly wounded, some more severely, but not one of them is considered in any way critically hurt. At. Blackshear there are four of the injured, three ladies and one man, and while they are each pain fully hurt, they are in a fair way to recover. The following is a list of tbo dead: J H Hurlburt, Philadelphia, Pa. W. Martin, Savannah, Ga. C. A. Fulton, Savannah, Qa. M. A. Wilbur, South Bethlehem. Pa. J, H. Pate, Hawkinsville, Ga. W. B.

The citizens of a town not far from Washington think they can attract summer visitors to it by planting trees along the streets and -around the houses, and in this way adding to its beauty. They are no doubt, right. The people of this country do not, as a rule, pay enough atten¬ tion to beautifying their towns, and when a really pretty one ii found, if its surroundings are healthful, it will be very apt to attract persons in search of quiet and rest from the cares of city life. The Savannah News says that a trip through Georgia would prob ably reveal the fact that comparative ly few small towns receive much at¬ tention in tbo way ol adornment. Their beauty i* generally that af forded by nature, and frequently this is detracted from by decaying houses and poorly kept premises. One trouble with nus ui ihem is that the people r r don’t feel able te ex pend , their , money on improvements, while the authorities, who, as a rule, serve without pay, are not sufficient¬ ly interested to do their whole duty. Then thrre are the croakers, who are found in every locality— men whose chief occupation seems to be to sit on the street corners and discour¬ age every laudable enterprise that is proposed. A half dozen croakers can often kill the efforts of a consid erable number of enterprising men. The adornment of a town is a pay¬ ing investment, in Whatever light it may be considere I. It pays in the the pleasure afforded by a pretty home. It pays in the enhancement of property. It pays by attracting citizens, visitors and investors. A person in search of temporary or permanent abode would not te greatly attracted to the town whose houses have a delapidated appear¬ ance, whose street* in rainy weather j J3P“’50 pieces lovely colored Stripe Lawns at5 cents.

Yet tbeis are probably a number of such towns in Georgia. On the other band, if the citizens were to turn iu and paint their houses, plant shade treoB, keep the fences in order, or, what would be better, take tbem away, and plant flowers iu .lie front yards; and if tbe officials wete to realize that by giv mg attentions to public improvmeuts theyoDuU ifter all make their posi tions pay them something in the iu creased atti c Ion and value 0 their property—if these things , were done the towns would contain more contented and inoio prosperous people. It is a question if it would r.ot be well to have salaried officials in every towu. In that way, probably, a better set of men would be so Kcted. and mere public spirit shown J them. It would cost sometbn g, but in all like hood it wwuld be mousy well spent. Centra! iUilroud Tim > T t’>i - SOUTHWARD B.irnesvii’o Special (Sunday only 7:45 a. m.
